Education has seen a significant change since the introduction of technology. From traditional classroom-style classes to self-paced learning and development (L&D) methods have evolved to accommodate various preferences and styles of learning. One such method is live online learning which can provide an interactive and more collaborative experience for learners. However, it’s crucial to know the differences between this method and the more familiar online course that has been recorded prior to selecting the best option for your business.
Live learning online, as the name suggests is a virtual educational experience which allows students to interact in real time with their instructors and peers via a videoconferencing tool like Zoom. As opposed to other online learning techniques live classes emphasize the use of real-time communication between students and instructors which helps students clarify any questions they might have and promotes deeper understanding of the material.
To maximize the effectiveness of live classes, instructors should structure their sessions according environments you can create in your virtual classroom to the goals and objectives set out in their overall course design. Instructors must, for instance make sure that every Live Session adds value to the assigned readings or recorded videos by clarifying and elaborating their meaning, implementing them by practicing, debating and studying.
Students in a live class can also form stronger bonds with their teachers and classmates through discussions and collaborations in groups. This helps them to stay motivated throughout the entire course. This is particularly important for subjects which require a high level of interaction and understanding, such as math, chemistry or Arabic or Russian.
